Heavenly King, Advocate, Spirit of Truth, who are everywhere present and fill all things, Treasury of Blessings, Bestower of Life, come, and dwell within us; cleanse us of all that defiles us, and O Good One, save our souls.

We have seen the true light; we have received the heavenly Spirit; we have found the true faith! We worship the undivided Trinity for having saved us.

Царю небесний, утішителю, Душе істини, що всюди єси і все наповняєш, скарбе дібр і життя подателю, прийди і вселися в нас, і очисти нас від усякої скверни, і спаси, Благий, душі наші.

Ми бачили світло істинне, ми прийняли Духа небесного, ми знайшли віру істинну, нероздільній Тройці поклоняємось, вона бо спасла нас.

O Lord, when You sent down Your Spirit, upon the assembled Apostles, the children of Israel were struck with awe as they heard them speak in many tongues, inspired by the Holy Spirit. They knew them to be illiterate and now saw them wise, speaking divine truths and bringing Gentiles to the faith. Therefore, we also cry out to You: You have appeared on earth and saved us from error; O Lord, glory to You!

Almighty and Merciful God, inspire those You have chosen to hear and answer Your call to the Priesthood and Religious Life. Give them the courage to be prophets for times. Give them the wisdom and openness to live their personal call. Give them the strength to be ready witnesses of Your love and care for the world. May they find support and encouragement in our words and our prayers, through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of God, and all the Saints. Amen.
